I used Taylored Expressions Build A Scene papers with Essentials by Ellen Bold Blossoms dies. The sentiment is from the Taylored Expressions Sunshiny Day stamp set.

The card base is a little narrow (3.75 inches) – I was using a leftover scrap from a pieced together horizontal A6 card. Please don’t fret about the flower on the left hanging off the edge – there will be plenty of envelope space.

Trying to get back “into routine” after the holidays, and I am struggling. I expected to sit down at the craft table, and have multitudes of creative ideas flow out. Just not happening. I’ve seen so many cute Valentine themed items go by on other blogs…I am not even interested in work on Valentine’s Day items yet.

Well, to quote Scarlett O’Hara, “tomorrow is another day!”

I’ve had this paper strip of typewriters sitting on my work space for 3 days, trying to work it onto a card. I decided to NOT make a Valentine out of it.

We have a female family member turning 90 this month. The paper reminded me of vintage fabric or wallpaper, I am thinking she will like the floral print. The numbers are cut out of mirror finish gold metallic paper – really difficult to photograph!
